Welcome to first and second grade Gifted and Talented! I have been teaching at Westridge Elementary since 1997. I enjoy learning with my students each day. They are so fun and full of information! We have three classroom Russian Tortoises named Samantha, Hibiscus, and Sequoia.
My Three Rocks
My Three Rocks
Kindness - Kindness has been a rock of mine, my entire life. A few years ago I completed my masters in integrating the arts in the elementary classroom. For my thesis, I created a website for teachers to help them integrate the arts with an emphasis on kindness.
Compassion - I believe that having and showing compassion towards others can solve so many problems and make our classroom and our world a much better place.
Caring - Since my first year of teaching, on the first day of school I explain to my students that we have one rule in my classroom, Treat others as I want to be treated. Every year we have a class poster that all of the students sign and they make their own smaller poster for a bulletin board that stays up all year. I love it when the students notice examples of this in books that we are reading and examples of characters that are not following this rule.
I am married and mom of three wonderful children. We live in the mountains near Conifer. My family and I enjoy hiking, running, and wrestling (my son and husband are the wrestling fans), jumping on our trampolines, and reading. We have several wonderful dogs, a bearded dragon named Chips and a salamander named Salsa.
